K9 then asks himself if Barbara Woodhouse ever tamed him, and he tells himself that she never did, not that she needed to. K9 then asks himself if he misses being in the TARDIS, and he responds yes, as he misses the unpredictability, the regular feeding times, as well as the "stimulating conversation" with someone to easily beat at chess.
